"בע"כ יענה אמן" - Bakehilla's Yaakov B. Friedman brings us the inspiring story of the Lubavitcher shliach in Grodno, Belarus

חס ושלום - I don't mean to say that he's a מלאך רע, it's a שם המושאל. He's a shtarke Litvak who has taken an interest in Grodno because of its history, and is especially interested in the Lubavitcher shliach there. He has written about Grodno before, and now, after the devastating fire there, writes about Grodno and the even greater difficulties faced by shliach Reb Yitzchok Kaufman. He cannot wrap his mind around the fact that a young man would come to Grodno to spend his days with old Jews who just use him out - and basically asks him that every chance he gets.

Friedman is not shtark anything, he is constantly on both sides of the issue, His father was a litvak turned Breslover, but the son returned to the Lita, so he has a foot all around.Whichever way he writes geshmak

what caused the agmas nefesh to RTM?the Pirsum? RTM does everything with pirsum, his derech in avdes hashen is with pirsum,as he likes to say its all the rotzan hashem, so the pirsum was also the rotzan hashem, so why agitate
